The " BUDDY" is designed and produced by our friend Storey Wilson in Colorado, this page is setup as a link to this wonderful product. The following is taken directly from his site where you can purchase direct from him:
This small portable handheld device enables the you to reset the Range Rover Electronic Air Suspension (EAS) computer. The device is powered solely by the cars own OBDII interface port and requires no further user interaction. Once the device is plugged into the OBDII port, communication is established with the EAS and the reset commands are sent out automatically. The device will continue to send the reset commands until the device is unplugged from the OBDII port.
The biggest question on your minds is, "Why do I need this device when there is software available for free?". This device is intended to be kept in the car at all times and provide hassle-free operation. This device is designed for when you need it the most; stuck on the side of the road with an EAS fault. When was the last time you had a Windows PC in your car when the EAS broke down? The EAS Buddy Box can be kept in the car very easily and used when you need it most.
This device is meant to be a convenient and easy to use emergency tool intended to get you back on the road with a working suspension until a licensed mechanic can inspect the potential fault. The EAS Buddy Box is extremely easy to use and requires little or no computer or mechanical experience on the part of the user. The device can be kept with the vehicle as a emergency roadside repair tool. Anyone of any age or any level of technological aptness can operate this device. Simply plug the unit in, let the unit clear the EAS fault and unplug when done. It could not be simpler. This module has already helped me out of a tricky EAS fault brought on by sub-zero temperatures and a leaky O-ring. The ability to clear the fault and keep on driving was worth every investment of my time and resources.
I am confident that the device is extremely useful and deserves to be made available to the public at an affordable price. I have spent hundreds of hours of my own time designing and building prototypes finally arriving at the current model. The EAS Buddy Box has been thoroughly tested and thoughtfully designed. The device is RoHS compliant and ready for international sale. Each unit is handmade and tested by myself. The case is made of rugged extruded aluminum and all components are mated to a custom designed and manufactured PCB board. I can assure you that each unit will be made to exceptional standards and nothing will ship until it is absolutely perfect by my standards.
Thanks, Storey Wilson
